Huh. Well, I think I shall be buying one of those as well. Then I can give up on my attempt to modify Raph's AVR code to handle Coleco. I haven't had the time or the ability to successfully modify the code to handle the spinner. Got the rest of the joystick reading in proper though. Oh well, this is a better solution anyway since it handles multiple systems. Thanks for the heads up. |

So, I bought one of these uber Intv/Coleco/Atari interfaces. For Intv, it does what is advertised (at least for the controllers - I haven't tried my ECS keyboard yet, and I don't have the synth). But for Coleco, it doesn't appear he implemented the spinner correctly. He put it on an analog Z Rotation axis. Which has a definite start and end. Where as a true spinner doesn't, and should be implemented more like a HID mouse. so when you max out the Zr axis, it jumps down to 0, and starts climbing again. It also doesn't seem to poll fast enough for the higher resolution of the steering wheel and trackball. I fired off an email to the guy who makes them to see what he has to say about it. I'm not sure If I can talk him into properly implementing the spinner controls or not. Worst case, I just bought an expensive Intv and mostly Coleco USB interface. |

The KADE team is planning on adding selected retro-controller support after the release in a few weeks. This sounds like something that would be a good fit for adding as part of their open-source hardware/software/firmware. People are already designing KADE compatible breakout/daughter boards to support mouse/trackball and PC/Console controller switching. Scott |

Sorry to hear about the Coleco spinners not working right. I just got it for the Intellivison & 2600 use. I emailed him 2 or 3 times before and he was prompt and helpful in his responses. |
